Bahá'í World Faith was intended to replace the earlier compilation Bahá'í
Scriptures with newer translations. However, many of the translations in Bahá'í World Faith have themselves been superseded by more authoritative versions. The reader is thus advised that some of the translations included here could be poor or even incorrect. Cf. William P. Collins, Bibliography of English Language Works on the Babi and Bahá'í Faiths, 1844-1985 (George Ronald, Oxford, 1990), pp. 20-21.

Classified as a "Personal" compilation because it was not prepared by the Baha'i World Centre.
